OMG Octopus Paul was right yet again!

[Helghast]

Yes indeedy! he was right! correctly predicted a Spain final win!
Now whats the future for Paul are they gonna retire him? PETA gonna take him( hope not!) or is he only gonna be used for internationals not club? I guess if he predicts club matches all that predicting will mess his brains up!
Octopus Paul you beaut!

Actually a Cephalopod.

It's weird.. Having read about the predictions a few days ago, I watched the game "believing" Spain would win!
Was awesome that they actually did

Self-fulfilling prophecy. Obviously Robben heard about the octopus. The rest is history.

Apparently they have a life span of 3 years on average and he is 2 and a half, so shouldn't be around much longer to "predict" games...

Seafood Platter !

What he said!

 

[SlowInternet]

He was right again. One thing I'm wondering about is the box that he has chosen for the games, isn't it the same box everytime ? Will have to check that out. But he surely was entertaining and messed up some people and players thoughts.

what the hell kind of name is Paul for an octopus

 

[Ronjay]

I want that octopus, think of the possibilities.

 

[JK8]

Its lame, plays on the minds of the teams...

 

[USZA]

Only thing that octopus is good for is calamari . I say grill him and serve him with some lemon butter and tartare sauce.

 

[McCrazieGoalz]

He's a real beauty...!

I see the guys at EuroSport waited for his prediction before they chose which team to pip for the title and preview it.

At first I was thinking its just a craze. But, I think there is something supernatural about that octopus.

They should use it to make predictions for all major football games - Uefa, domestic derbies and other major league derbies.

I just had to say something - This is an amazing story indeed.

Six winners in a row: what are the chances?
Leading online gambling service, Betfair, told CNN if someone bet £10 ($15) on the first match, carried over all funds to the second match, and then repeated this up until Germany's sixth match, their original bet would have netted them £4,071 ($6,092). They said the probability of this happening was 0.245 percent, or a 1 in 408 chance.
British high street bookmaker William Hill was so impressed by Paul's predictive powers that it has offered even odds that he will pick the winner of the final between Spain and The Netherlands

That's an amazing, out-of-this-world return. Damn I knew I should have started on sports betting.
